Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet utilized for an iron core material of a transformer or the like, and a method for manufacturing the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet.
  • Grain-oriented electrical steel sheets are mainly utilized as iron cores for transformers and are required to have excellent magnetic properties, in particular low iron loss.
  • Techniques for narrowing magnetic domain widths and improving iron loss properties as described above include a non-heat resistant magnetic domain refining method where a thermal strain region is linearly disposed (e.g. refer to JPS57-2252B (PTL 1) or JPH06-72266B (PTL 2)) and a heat resistant magnetic domain refining method where a linear groove with a predetermined depth is disposed on the steel sheet surface (e.g. refer to JPS62-53579B (PTL 3) or JPH03-69968B (PTL 4)).
  • PTL 3 discloses a means for forming a groove by using a gear type roller
  • PTL 4 discloses a means for forming a groove by pressing an edge of a blade against a steel sheet after final annealing.
  • fine grains are generated under the groove through flattening annealing due to strains formed in mechanical working. If the fine grains exist in an appropriate amount, they would contribute to magnetic domain refining and exhibit an effect of reducing iron loss. However, it is difficult to appropriately control the generation amount of fine grains. Further, if there is a large generation amount, magnetic permeability deteriorates and a desirable iron loss reducing effect cannot be obtained.
  • Another method of forming a groove is a method such as the so-called etching where insulating coating is removed linearly during or after final annealing (e.g. refer to PTL 5).
  • etching where insulating coating is removed linearly during or after final annealing
  • PTL 6 discloses a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet excellent in magnetic characteristics and its production process, where the viscosity of MgO is not mentioned.
  • the present invention has been developed in light of the above circumstances, and it is an object thereof to provide a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet having low iron loss properties by applying magnetic domain refining treatment to a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet by forming a groove by a chemical means, and an advantageous manufacturing method for obtaining such steel sheet.
  • the inventors of the present invention have made intensive studies on improvement measures for the problems of conventional techniques. As a result, the inventors have found that, in a case where magnetic domain refining is performed by means of linear grooves, it is preferable to guarantee proper tension of the base film (forsterite film) where the grooves are formed, to set angles ( ⁇ angles) formed by ⁇ 100> axes of secondary recrystallized grains facing the rolling direction of the steel sheet and the rolling plane to a predetermined value or less, and to minimize the generation of fine crystal grains under the grooves in order to stably obtain low iron loss properties, and completed the present invention.
  • the present invention is based on the above discoveries.
  • ⁇ angle an angle formed by ⁇ 100> axes of secondary recrystallized grains facing the rolling direction and a rolling plane of the steel sheet
  • Lancet magnetic domains are generated in the vicinity of grooves and the magnetic domain refining effect, which would otherwise be obtained from magnetic charges in the wall surfaces of the grooves, is reduced. Therefore, the ⁇ angle must be a predetermined value or less.
  • the ⁇ angle is a predetermined value or less
  • the tension on iron substrate from the coating of the above described groove part is small, a closure domain is generated in the vicinity of the groove part and the width of the 180° magnetic domain is widened, and a sufficient iron loss reduction effect cannot be obtained. Therefore, it is necessary to guarantee proper tension of the base film as described above and control the ⁇ angle at the same time.
  • the angle formed by each linear groove and a direction orthogonal to a rolling direction of the steel sheet it is necessary for the angle formed by each linear groove and a direction orthogonal to a rolling direction of the steel sheet to be 45° or less in order to generate magnetic charges in the wall surfaces in the groove part and refine magnetic domains. This is because if the angle formed by the linear groove and the direction orthogonal to the rolling direction of the steel sheet exceeds 45°, iron loss reduction effect is decreased.
  • the grooves formed in the steel sheet surface in the present invention prefferably have a width of 50 ⁇ m to 300 ⁇ m, depth of 10 ⁇ m to 50 ⁇ m, and an interval of around 1.5 mm to 10.0 mm.
  • the term "linear” is intended to include solid lines as well as dotted lines, dashed lines, and so on.
  • the demagnetizing effect of the grooves themselves and the magnetic charges formed in the grain boundaries of secondary recrystallized grains and fine grains become excessive and decrease magnetic permeability.
  • the iron loss improving effect provided by the grooves becomes insufficient.
  • a desirable iron loss reduction effect cannot be obtained by simply reducing fine grains under the grooves. That is, as in the present invention, it is crucial to form sufficient base films in the grooves for sufficiently enhancing the tension applied to the iron substrate by the coating in the magnetic domains, and further to finely control the magnetic domains in the grooves from which 180° magnetic domains of parts other than the groove part originate to thereby sufficiently derive the magnetic domain refining effect the linear grooves have.
  • fine grains are crystal grains with grain size of 1 mm or less.
  • the presence frequency of fine grains under the grooves is the frequency (ratio) of fine grains present under the grooves when observing the cross sectional structure of crystal grains in the groove part of the steel sheet. Specifically, as shown in fig. 1 , determination is made on whether crystal grains with a length in the rolling direction of 1 mm or less exist among the crystal grains which are in contact with the floor portions of the grooves, and the ratio of presence of such crystal grains (fine grains) among the investigated cross sections is to be made 10 % or less.
  • 1 is a schematic diagram of the cross section of grooves viewed from the direction orthogonal to the rolling direction of the steel sheet when observation is made in a direction along the grooves from 20 views with 5 mm intervals.
  • crystal grains with at least a part thereof overlapping with the floor portions of grooves and having a length in the rolling direction of 1 mm or less are counted, as shown in fig. 1 .
  • observation is performed from 20 views or more (preferably, at positions spaced by 2 mm or more along the linear groove).
  • the coating amount (coating mass per unit area of one surface of the steel sheet) of Mg in the groove part is used as an index of the formation amount of forsterite (Mg 2 SiO 4 ) which is the main component of the base film, and if the coating amount is less than 0.6 g/m 2 , the above effect cannot be sufficiently obtained. Therefore, in the present invention, the Mg coating amount in the groove part per one surface of the steel sheet is 0.6 g/m 2 or more. Although there is no particular limit on the upper limit of the Mg coating amount, the amount is preferably around 3.0 g/m 2 from the perspective of preventing deterioration of the appearance of the coating of parts other than the groove part.
  • the Mg coating amount in the groove part can be obtained by methods such as a method of performing analyzation/quantification using X-rays and electron rays, and a method of measuring the Mg coating amount in the whole steel sheet and parts other than the groove part, and area ratio of the groove part and calculating the Mg coating amount in the groove part.
  • a method of performing analyzation/quantification using X-rays and electron rays and a method of measuring the Mg coating amount in the whole steel sheet and parts other than the groove part, and area ratio of the groove part and calculating the Mg coating amount in the groove part.
  • the average ⁇ angle should be 3° or less.
  • the vicinity of the groove part is intended to be 500 ⁇ m or less from each groove, which is the range in which the curvature radius of the coil does not have a significant effect during secondary recrystallization annealing.
  • nitriding during final annealing becomes pronounced in the groove part, and secondary recrystallized grains with large ⁇ angles are more easily generated from the groove part.
  • a method where a groove is formed by pressing a projection against a rolled sheet is also undesirable since secondary recrystallized grains with large ⁇ angles are easily generated from the groove part. Therefore, in order to make the ⁇ angles small, in combination with the necessity to reduce the generation frequency of fine grains under the grooves, as mentioned earlier, a method where a linear groove is formed by etching in a cold rolled sheet is preferable.
  • C is an element that is useful not only for improving hot rolled microstructure by using transformation, but also for generation of the Goss-oriented nuclei, and it is preferably contained in the starting material in an amount of at least 0.01 %. On the other hand, if the content of C exceeds 0.20 %, it may cause decarburization failure during decarburization annealing. Therefore, the C content in the starting material is preferably in the range of 0.01 % to 0.20 %.
  • Si is a useful element for increasing electric resistance and reducing iron loss, as well as stabilizing the ⁇ phase of iron and enabling high temperature heat treatment, and it is preferably contained in an amount of at least 2.0 %.
  • the Si content is preferably in the range of 2.0 % to 5.0 %.
  • Mn not only effectively contributes to improvement in hot shortness properties of steel but also forms precipitates such as MnS and MnSe and serves as an inhibitor if S or Se is mixed in the slab.
  • the content of Mn is less than 0.03 %, the above effect is insufficient, while if it exceeds 0.20 %, the grain size of precipitates such as MnSe coarsens and the effect as an inhibitor will be lost. Therefore, the Mn content is preferably in the range of 0.03 % to 0.20 %.
  • S and Se are useful components which form MnS, MnSe, Cu 2-X S, Cu 2-X Se, and the like when bonded to Mn or Cu, and exhibit an effect of an inhibitor as a dispersed second phase in steel. If the total content of S and Se is less than 0.005 %, this effect is inadequate, while if the total content exceeds 0.040 %, not only does solution formation during slab heating become incomplete but it becomes the cause of defects on the product surface. Therefore, in either case of independent addition or combined addition, the total content is preferably in the range of 0.005 % to 0.040 %.
  • Al is a useful element which forms AlN in steel and exhibits an effect of an inhibitor as a dispersed second phase.
  • Al content is less than 0.010 %, a sufficient precipitation amount cannot be guaranteed.
  • Al content is preferably in the range of 0.010 % to 0.05 %.
  • Al which has a strong inhibiting effect, and in combination with the aforementioned cold rolling conditions, the starting temperature of secondary recrystallization becomes high and the secondary recrystallized nuclei having small ⁇ angles selectively grow. Therefore, sol. Al is an essential additive for manufacturing the electrical steel sheet of the present invention.
  • N is an element which forms AlN by adding to steel simultaneously with Al. If the additive amount of N is less than 0.0015 %, precipitation of AlN or BN becomes insufficient and an inhibiting effect cannot be sufficiently obtained. On the other hand, if N is added in an amount exceeding 0.020 %, blistering or the like occurs during slab heating. Therefore, the N content is preferably in the range of 0.0015 % to 0.020 %.
  • the following elements may also be contained in the slab according to necessity. At least one element selected from Cu: 0.01 % to 0.2 %, Ni: 0.01 % to 0.5 %, Cr: 0.01 % to 0.5%, Sb: 0.01 % to 0.1%, Sn: 0.01 % to 0.5 %, Mo: 0.01 % to 0.5 % and Bi: 0.001 % to 0.1 %
  • All of these elements are grain boundary segregation type inhibitor elements and by adding these auxiliary inhibitor elements, the suppressing effect on normal grain growth is further strengthened and it becomes possible to allow preferential growth of secondary recrystallized grains from nuclei with small ⁇ angles.
  • any of the above described elements i.e. Cu, Ni, Cr, Sb, Sn, Mo and Bi
  • the content is less than the lower limit, a sufficient assisting effect on suppressing grain growth cannot be obtained.
  • any of the above elements is added in an amount exceeding the upper limit, saturation magnetic flux density is decreased and the state of precipitation of the main inhibitor such as AlN is changed and deterioration of magnetic properties is caused. Therefore, each element is preferably contained in the amount within the above ranges.
  • the balance other than the above components is preferably Fe and incidental impurities that are incorporated into the slab during the manufacturing process.
  • the slab having the above described chemical composition is subjected to heating and subsequent hot rolling in a conventional manner.
  • the slab may also be subjected to hot rolling directly after casting, without being subjected to heating.
  • it may be subjected to hot rolling or directly proceed to the subsequent step, omitting hot rolling.
  • the steel sheet is preferably subjected to hot band annealing.
  • the hot band annealing temperature is preferably in the range of 800 °C to 1100 °C. If the hot band annealing temperature is lower than 800 °C, there remains a band texture resulting from hot rolling, which makes it difficult to obtain a primary recrystallized texture of uniformly-sized grains and inhibits the growth of secondary recrystallization. On the other hand, if the hot band annealing temperature exceeds 1100 °C, the grain size after the hot band annealing coarsens too much, and makes it difficult to obtain a primary recrystallized texture of uniformly-sized grains.
  • each cold rolling process is normally performed using a Sendzimir mill or a tandem mill.
  • the steel sheet is subjected to decarburization annealing and an annealing separator mainly composed of MgO is applied thereon. After the application of the annealing separator, the sheet is subjected to final annealing for purposes of forming secondary recrystallized grains and a forsterite film.
  • an annealing separator being "mainly composed of MgO" means that the annealing separator may contain other known annealing separator components or physical property-improving components in a range that will not impede the formation of a forsterite film, which is an object of the present invention. Examples of specific compositions will be discussed later.
  • the contents of C, S, Se and N in the resulting steel sheet are each reduced to 0.005 % or less, the content of Al is reduced to 0.01 % or less, and the contents of other components are almost the same as those in the slab.
  • any conventionally known method may be used.
  • a method of printing a masking part using gravure offset printing and then performing electrolytic etching with an NaCl aqueous solution is desirable.
  • any conventionally known method may be used.
  • a method of printing an acid-resistant masking film using gravure offset printing and then performing pickling treatment with an HCl aqueous solution is desirable.
  • MgO is a main component of the annealing separator.
  • MgO is normally in powder form.
  • the viscosity obtained in accordance with the following definition is used as physical properties of MgO in the present invention.
  • MgO herein, either pure MgO or industrially produced MgO including impurities may be used.
  • An example of an industrially produced MgO is disclosed in JPS54-14566B .
  • an annealing separator mainly composed of MgO in a water slurry state is applied to the steel sheet with grooves present in the steel sheet surface. If the viscosity of the annealing separator is too high, forsterite formation inside the groove becomes insufficient. It is assumed that this is because the annealing separator in the form of slurry did not sufficiently spread and deposit inside the groove. On the other hand, if MgO slurry has low viscosity, the coating mass in the groove part and steel sheet surface becomes too small, and sufficient base film formation is not achieved. For these reasons, it is necessary to restrict the viscosity of MgO which is a main component of the annealing separator.
  • the appropriate range of viscosity of MgO (measured using a B-type viscometer at 60 rpm, 30 minutes after mixing 250 g of water and 40 g of MgO at 20 °C) is a range from 20 cP to 100 cP. Therefore, in the present invention, viscosity of MgO slurry is used as the index of physical properties of MgO used in the annealing separator and the range of viscosity thereof 30 minutes after mixing with water is set to 20 cP to 100 cP. The range is preferably 30 cP to 80 cP.
  • an ordinary adjusting method of the viscosity of slurry should be used. Possible methods include for example, adjusting the amount of hydration of MgO by changing size, shape, etc. of grains.
  • additive components such as TiO 2 or SrSO 4 may be contained. These additive components other than MgO may be added up to a total amount of around 30 mass % of the solid content of the annealing separator. Further, the viscosity of the annealing separator is in the range of 20 cP to 100 cP.
  • the average value of ⁇ angle it is necessary for the average value of ⁇ angle to be 3° or less as previously described. As a means for this, it is necessary to use AlN as an inhibitor. Further, it is necessary to prevent the increase of ⁇ angle which is caused by the curvature radius of the coil formed during secondary recrystallization annealing, and therefore it is preferable to control final cold rolling conditions and make secondary recrystallized grain sizes small.
  • Possible specific means for achieving the above steel sheet microstructure include increasing the temperature of final cold rolling. By doing so, it is possible to increase the formation frequency of Goss-oriented portions which become the seeds of secondary recrystallized grains in the rolled texture, and make the secondary recrystallized grain size small.
  • the steel sheet is subjected to rolling at least once during which the entry temperature or the delivery temperature of the rolling stand, whichever is higher, is 170 °C or lower, and to rolling at least twice during which the higher temperature of the two is 200 °C or higher. Consequently, it is possible to make the secondary recrystallized grain size even finer without deteriorating secondary recrystallized grain orientation.
  • the reason for this is not clear, it is assumed that the combined action of the worked microstructure introduced at low temperature and the worked microstructure introduced at high temperature finally increases the Goss-oriented nuclei.
  • the upper limit of the higher temperature is preferably set to 280 °C from the perspective of operation.
  • the lower limit is preferably set to room temperature from the perspective of operation.
  • an insulation coating can be applied to the steel sheet surface before or after the flattening annealing.
  • the term "insulation coating” refers to a coating that can apply tension to the steel sheet to reduce iron loss (hereinafter, referred to as "tension coating”).
  • tension coating include an inorganic coating containing silica, and a ceramic coating by physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition, and so on.
  • Steel slabs each containing C: 0.06 %, Si: 3.3 %, Mn: 0.08 %, S: 0.023 %, Al: 0.03 %, N: 0.007 %, Cu: 0.2 %, Sb: 0.02 %, and the balance of Fe and unavoidable impurities, were heated at 1430 °C for 30 minutes, and then subjected to hot rolling to obtain hot rolled steel sheets with a sheet thickness of 2.2 mm, which in turn were subjected to annealing at 1000 °C for 1 minute, and then cold rolling until reaching a sheet thickness of 1.5 mm, and then intermediate annealing at 1100 °C for 2 minutes, and then cold rolling to have a final sheet thickness of 0.23 mm.
  • Epstein test specimens were collected, and then subjected to stress relief annealing in nitrogen atmosphere at 800 °C for 3 hours, and then iron loss W 17/50 was measured by conducting an Epstein test.
  • an annealing separator mainly composed (93 mass%) of MgO (viscosity (30 minutes after mixing with water) of 40 cP) with 6 mass% of TiO 2 and 1 mass% of SrSO 4 each added was mixed with water (solid component ratio of 15 mass%), stirred for 30 minutes to form a slurry (viscosity of 30 cP) and applied to the steel sheets. Then, the steel sheets were wound into coils, and the coils were subjected to final annealing. Then, a phosphate-based insulating tension coating was applied and baked, and flattening annealing was performed for the purpose of flattening steel strips to obtain the products.
  • Epstein test specimens were collected, and then subjected to stress relief annealing in nitrogen atmosphere at 800 °C for 3 hours, and then iron loss W 17/50 was measured by conducting an Epstein test.
  • the balance of the steel composition is Fe and incidental impurities.
